About the Author

John Rutter

John worked as a scientific officer for DFID, studying diseases of banana, locust invasions and rice pest migration in Uganda, Tanzania, India, Costa Rica and Rome. He swapped microscope for walking boots and became a trek leader based initially in Morocco and then spent three years in Central and South America, mainly Peru (where he met Julie).

Settling in rural Aberdeenshire he became a journalist and blagged a job at the Edinburgh Evening News where he developed a love of unreasonable deadlines. A final, inevitable career change to teaching now sees him (and the family) based in East Lothian, employed as PT Geography at North Berwick High School and writing books, educational features and travel articles in his spare time.
